Hotmail likes to just randomly delete messages from our forums, the only users we have been having issues reported from when checked all have hotmail accounts linked to their accounts.

So this means they do not usually get the email verification when they first sign up which severely restricts what they can and cannot do on the forums. Or if they make it past the verification email, typically will not receive any email notifications if they have them turned on.

If you are experiencing these issues, you need to change your email to a non hotmail account.

No need to be sorry, it was a public FYI announcement lol
Periodically we get people complaining that they are having issues with notifications and such, when investigated, 98% of the time they use hotmail which for some reason sucks (might be that whole owned by Microsoft thing :D ).

I stopped getting ASC emails for a few months. This week I started getting them again. Hotmail OP.

I've had G-mail since early beta. So early, that I got a super-popular e-mail without having to add punctuation. Now? I get about two incorrectly addressed e-mails, or new account creation e-mails, a month. @_@

I recently hit 90% full on my inbox on ASC. Deleted my messages so now i have space, but now I'm not receiving email notifications on my hotmail account when I do get messages. I don't see them in my deleted folder. Will switching to non-hotmail fix the issue or is there another reason for not receiving email notifications?

Bumping this, we still weekly get people who "forget" their passwords and then cannot get their reminders due to hotmail, please before this happens to you go and edit your profiles and change your email to a non Mircosoft one!!
